NASA LaRC plans to issue Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts in accordance with FAR 13.303-1 and FAR Part 12 Commercial Items Procedures, and intends to simplify the acquisition of repetitive purchase of EEE parts which generally have short response times to meet critical research project requirements. Because most of these orders will be below the synopsis threshold ($25,000) or meet other synopsis exemptions, individual actions may not be synopsized. Therefore, interested parties are urged to respond to this announcement. NASA LaRC may resolicit for additional BPA sources on a regular basis. Vendors are directed to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation- Commercial Items, for specific evaluation criteria used to make BAP awards. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures and references in accordance with the submittal requirements under the Evaluation section of this RFQ.
All EEE parts shall be in compliance with the specific NASA, Military or IPC Standards as detailed in Table 1 of the attached Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), NNL08EEEPARTSQ. It is preferred that suppliers of such parts be certified to the current AS9100 quality standard. Vendors are not required to provide all EEE parts listed in Table 1 of the BPA but should clearly detail their individual capabilities by completing the EEE parts “availability” schedule in Table 1 of the BPA (see instructions on Page 2 of the BPA).
Responses should also include: name and address of firm, size of business; average annual revenue for past 3 years and number of employees; ownership; whether they are small, small disadvantaged, 8(a) Hubzone, and/or woman-owned; number of years in business, affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential subcontract) or subcontractors (if potential prime); list of customers over the past three years (highlight relevant work performed, contract numbers, contract type, dollar value of each procurement, and point of contact-address and phone number). Procurement and Technical questions should be directed to Gloria C. Carney at Gloria.C.Carney@nasa.gov or
(757)864-7151.
A completed BPA package shall be submitted to Gloria C. Carney no later than July 31, 2008. Please reference NNL08EEEPARTSQ in any response.
